In eastern cultures they have a concept which, when translated, is called "the law." "The law" is about defining a set of rules to encourage people to behave in a way that is more appropriate for society.
America has a strange relationship with the law. We both idealize and despise crime. Crime now is bad and scary (unless it’s your guys), but a lot of people will brag about their ancestors being criminals (especially mobsters). So you sometimes wind up with people who brag about being descended from mafiosos, listening to 90s gangster rap, and fearmongering about MS-13.
